Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using Impossible burger, break up until protein reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook until pink and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Pico de Gallo

    Tear cilantro leaves.

    Core tomato and cut into 1/4" dice.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.

    In a mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, green portions of green onions, lemon juice, half the cilantro (reserve remaining for filling), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Steak Filling

    Pat steak strips dry. Coarsely chop, then separate pieces.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add steak strips to hot pan. Stir occasionally until no pink remains and steak strips reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-5 minutes.

    Add corn and stir occasionally until heated through, 30-60 seconds.

    Remove from burner. Transfer steak strips and corn to another mixing bowl. Rest, 3 minutes.

    Wipe pan clean and reserve.

    After 3 minutes, stir in remaining cilantro, white portions of green onions, taco seasoning, and a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Place tortillas on a clean, flat work surface. Evenly distribute cheese on one half of each tortilla and top with steak filling.

    Fold tortilla in half over filling, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Cook Quesadillas and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to cook steak strips to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Working in batches, add quesadillas to hot pan. Cook until browned and cheese is melted, 2-4 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, cutting quesadillas into triangles, if desired, and garnishing with sour cream and pico de gallo. You may also serve pico on the side for dipping. Bon appétit!
